Abstract

See full text

Inventive embodiments are directed to components, subassemblies, systems, and/or methods for a refrigeration system having a compressor operably coupled to continuously variable accessory drive (CVAD). In one embodiment, the refrigerant is adapted to cool the CVAD. In another embodiment, the refrigerant is configured to actuate a change in operating condition of the CVAD. A change in operating condition of the CVAD can be based at least in part on the thermodynamic state, such as pressure or temperature, of the refrigerant. In one embodiment, a skew-based control system is adapted to facilitate a change in the ratio of a CVAD. In another embodiment, a skew-based control system includes a skew actuator coupled to a carrier member. In some embodiments, the skew actuator is configured to rotate a carrier member of a CVT. Among other things, shift control interfaces for a CVT are disclosed.
